SMF Type 6 Record

This table shows the record layout for type 6 SMF records
(JES2 Output Writer).

List of other SMF record layouts available.
List of sample SMF reports.

Purpose: The JES2 writer writes record type 6 when processing is completed for a job output element (JOE), or when there is a change in certain information (indicated by “*”) describing SYSOUT data sets processed in the same JOE. Record 6 is written for SYSOUT data sets that are printed or routed to a remote worstation. It is not written for held then deleted SYSOUT data sets. If a printer is running under the control of a functional subsystem (FSS), record type 6 is written for each data set printed on that printer.

This record is written for spin data sets. JES2 can be induced to not write this record on a job class basis. This record identifies the output writer by SYSOUT class and form number, and identifies the job according to job log identification, JES2-assigned job number, and user identification. It contains information on the output writer activity such as the number of logical records processed, number of data sets processed, writer start and end times, input/output status indicators data set control indicators, and JES2 logical output device name.

The JES2 writer does not fill every field in the common section. Unfilled fields are left with zeroes.

Any post-processor accounting routine that scans a type 6 record can determine the writer of the record from field SMF6SBS and check field SMF6PAD1 to determine the optional sections that are present in the record. When scanning the record for data, the accounting routine obtains the length for each extension section at run time when it moves from one section to the next. The length is a two-byte field at the beginning of each section.

This record also provides information on the activity of the 3800 (non-impact) printing subsystem.

It's easy to report on SMF 6 data!

We have a low-cost 4GL report writer especially for SMF files. It's called Spectrum SMF Writer.

Spectrum SMF Writer handles the difficult SMF record parsing for you automatically. You just specify which fields you want to see.

Spectrum SMF Writer also converts the arcane date and time fields and reformats them into an attractive report.

Plus, Spectrum SMF Writer can export SMF data as comma delimited files to use on your PC.
